What's in your eye?

The other day I posted this scripture at the end of one of my posts,"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3(NIV) It made me think, how often do I judge people on there actions, words, attitude, lives...ect? But do I ever truly look at my actions, words, attitude, life...ect? How are the things I do and say glorify God? Are they glorifying Him?  I know I'm not perfect, I know we live in a fallen world, and because of that, sin will always be there to tempt me. But what am I doing to guard my heart from it? It's always so easy to point out my hubby's flaws, especially when we're arguing. But how does that help the situation? Even if 95% of the fault lands on him, what about that 5% that lands on me. And trust me on most occasions the fault is mostly on my side, but I don't always want to admit it, LOL. Anyways, I'm still responsible only for my actions. For me this is a hard concept because I hate admitting when I'm wrong. I mean come on, who really ever likes to admit there flaws or admit when they are wrong? I know I don't. But this verse is telling me, that instead of worrying about someone elses faults, I need to look inward at myself. I guess what I'm trying to share is let's look at how we can work on our selves, and not on how we can change others. I can only change one person in this world, ME. And even then, I can't do it on my own, I need the Holy Spirit in me to help me change. This is something that won't come naturally to me, it's something that I will have to work on, on a daily basis. But I know it is something that will Glorify my Lord. And that there is something worth working on:) I challenge you that next time you see that speck of dust in someones eye, you first look at yourself before pointing it out to them.
